A successful day of action against
Sainsbury's in Waltham Forest, on Saturday 5 April
‘14

Selling the fruits of the occupation of
Palestine is not welcome in Waltham Forest. Saturday shoppers took leaflets and
had chats with us about why Israeli and settlement produce should not be on be
sold in our shops. Many expressed their surprise that this could be happening.
In Waltham Forest there is no lack of support for freedom and justice in
Palestine, but that seems to escape majority of our political representatives.

About WFPSC

WFPSC was founded at a General Meeting held in Harmony Hall, Walthamstow, on Wednesday 18 February 2009, with Neil Gerrard (then MP for Walthamstow) as its first patron.
Encompassing the whole London borough of Waltham Forest, including Chingford, Walthamstow, Leyton and Leytonstone, the group has a strong membership of PSC subscribers who live locally.
We aim to tackle local community issues in Waltham Forest related to Palestinian rights, make an impact through local municipal processes and PSC's national work on the UK's political agenda in relation to Palestine, and forster links between Waltham Forest communities and Palestinian communities in and around Palestine.

As a branch of PSC, Waltham Forest PSC is established to campaign as follows:

* for the right of self-determination for the Palestinian people;

* for the right of return of the Palestinian people;

* for the immediate withdrawalof the Israeli state from the occupied territories;

* against the oppression and dispossession suffered by the Palestinian people;

* in support of the rights of the Palestinian people and their struggle to achieve these rights;

* to promote Palestinian civil society in the interests of democratic rights and social justice;

* to oppose Israel's occupation and its aggression against neighbouring states;

* in opposition to racism, including anti-jewish prejudice and the apartheid nature of the Israeli state.

Join up!

Everyone in Waltham Forest is welcome to get involved in our activities and campaigns at any level - you don't have to be a paid-up member to be an activist. Joining in is what counts.
